New weekday closures announced at a time when Tofino and Ucluelet are at the peak of their summer seasons, when thousands of tourists from around the world typically flock to the area.
Hotel staff in Tofino were working double duty Wednesday letting incoming guests know that — once again — they may face delays getting to the resort community by road.
A section of the highway was closed for two weeks with only a rough logging road as a detour route. The highway reopened June 23 to single-lane alternating traffic. There will be no Highway 4 closures on weekends, including the B.C. Day long weekend, the ministry said. “Most businesses understand the highway has to be fixed … it’s just the timing is so unfortunate,” said Law.
He said the inn is advising guests that the detour route via Lake Cowichan is still open, but might not be kind to some vehicles, including rental cars.
